Judging from what teams lost last year I would say
1.) Cloudland (Top dog until someone beats them)
2-5.) Cosby, Jellico, North Greene, Unaka (Arrange them in any order Jellico and Unaka lost the most)
6.) Hancock (They lost all of their best athletes in a big senior class last season)
I have twins who play for cloudland and I guarantee vacation would be canceled before they would miss the state tournament. Maybe I'm missing something here. Anyway, good luck on getting back. We return some key players and should be back in the sectional again
No, I know for a fact those kids grew up with each other and played travel ball, pee-wee, etc. for years. Combination of a really good feeder program, some great luck in getting a whole group of talented kids in an age group, and, quite frankly, some money to boost their development.
